Fleming said tbst he was in back
room and came out just in tims to hear
Schmidt say. to Solomon that he would
give him five minutee to leave the place,
or be put out BY force. Solomon said
that he would be cut before that
time was mp, but Fleming says
It was not minute till Schmidt aimed
his revolver a: his head and pulled the
trigger. The weapon fsiled-to 20 of, and
he fred again, and this time it did 20 of.
with the result reported. Es!i &
: Solomon had his hands up In tho air ct
the time. s'
As coon as Fleming saw that the man
was wounded lie offered his services
which Solomon accepted, and asked to be

sTR4NGE FOODS.

The old saying that what Is one man 5
meat L another mans poison Is realized
in the opposite tastes Of people. The
Turks shudder at the thought Of eating
oysters. The Digger Indians Of the Pa
cifc Coast rejoiced in the great locust
swarms Of 1873, ASA dispensation Of the
great Spirit, and laid in store Of dried
locust powder sufficient to last them for
several years. The French viii eat frogs,
snaiIs and the diseased Iivers Of geese, but
draw the line at alligat0rs. Buckland
declares the taste Of the boa constructor
TO be good, and much ike veal. Quass,
the fermented cabbage water Of the Rus
SLAMS. Is their tippIe. Ii Is described as
resembling mixture cf stale fish and
soapsuds in taste, vet next 10 beer, It has
more votaries than any other fermented
beverage. A tallow candle washed down
with quass forms u meal that it would be
hard to be thankful for. In Canton and
other Chinese cities rats are sold at the
rate Of two shillings q dozen, and the
hind quarters Of the dog are hung up IN
the butchers shop alongside Of mutton
and lamb, but command higher price.
The edible birds nests Of the Chinese are
worth their weight in silver, the finest
variety selling for as much a IS pound.
The negroes Of the West Indies eat baked
snakes and palm worms fried in tat, but
they cannot be induced TO eat stewed rab-
bits. In Mexico parrots are eaten, but
they are rather tough. The Guachos Of
the Argentine Republic are in the habit
Of hunting skunks for the sake Of their
flesh. The octopus or devil ish, when
boiled and then roasted, Is eaten IN Cor
sica and esteemed a deIicacy. In the
Pacific Islands and West Indies lizard eggs
are eaten with gustO. The natives Of the
Anti les eat alligator eggs, and the eggs
Of the turtle are popular everywhere,
though up to the commencement Of the
last century turtle was only eaten By the
poor Of Jamaica. Ants are eaten by Va
rious nations. In Brazil they are served
with a resinous sauce, and in Africa they
are stewed with greese or butter. The
East Indians catch them in pits and care
fully wash them in handfuls ike raisins.
In siam 4 curry Of ant eggs * a costly
luxury. The CingaIese eat the bees AZ
ter robbing them Of their honey. Cater
pillars and spiders are dainties to the
African bushmen. After they have
wound the silk from the cocoon the Chi
nese eat the chrysalis Of the siIk-worm-
Spiders roasted are 4 sort Of dessert with
the New CaIedonian.

POETR Y.
SHIDOWS.

The moon, 4 light-hung world Of gold,
LOw-drooping pale and phaut0m-falri
The fresh pomp Of the summer leaves,
And fragrance in the breathing ar.
Beneath the trees fat solhouettes,
Mute idiot shapes that shun the hight,
Weird cruok-kneed things, 4 tickle crew,
The restless children Of the night
In idle, vacant pantOmine
They nod and nod forever more
And clutch with aimless hurtering hands
With thin, black hands, the leafstrewn t0or
Quivering wavering there forever.
On the bright and silent ground.
Meshed and tangled there together,
While the rolling earth goes round
And the gold-tinged aery ocean
Ripples light IN many a breeze
Der the sTeet-breathed purple lilac,
Ger the tall and slGmbering trees
